Building a Subscribe Form

Including a signup form on your website is easier than you might think.

Delivra's system has an easy to use subscribe form builder (found under the "Web Forms" options in the "Utilities" section) which lets you choose what data you wish to collect. Additionally, you're also able to control the subscriber's experience after they sign-up with options like directing them to a specific landing page or sending them an automated confirmation message. Once you've selected your options, just click "Get HTML" and the system will provide you with the code to paste into your website.

The output provides you the raw HTML code for the form you created and can be dropped into your website as is, or modified in appearance by adding your own code.

One particular modification that I've seen several times is the use of a hidden field to help identify the source of the signup. Say you want to differentiate between those subscribers who sign up (for example) by following ads to a specific landing page versus those who found your blog. The two forms may appear identical, but the addition of a hidden input value will help associate the subscribers from each for future analysis or segmentation.

If you have questions about using the Subscribe Form builder, one of our friendly Support Specialists can give you a hand.
